Missions

Want to Serve?

Following Jesus means being “His hands and feet.” Join us as we bridge the generations, working side by side to meet the needs of our community and the world around us. We do this by supporting our mission partners through both hands-on service and financial giving. Whether you’re looking to get involved for the first time or discerning where your gifts might best be used, the Serving Team is here to help you find a place to serve that speaks to you personally. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Rev. Ted Mingle at tmingle@lppcmin.org.
